Oxidative stress and genomic rearrangements play a role in cancer development. l-Buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) induces oxidative stress in a cell by irreversibly inhibiting gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, an essential enzyme for the synthesis of glutathione (GSH). We postulated that oxidative stress induced by GSH depletion might lead to genomic rearrangements, such as DNA deletions, and that...
BACKGROUND Although oxidative stress is considered to promote arrhythmogenic substrates in diseased model animals, it is difficult to evaluate its primary role. In this study, we evaluated the promotion of arrhythmogenic substrates in the primary hyperoxidative state. METHODS AND RESULTS Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO, 30 mmol · L(-1) · day(-1)) for 14 day...
Aging alters cellular responses to both heat and oxidative stress. Thiol-mediated metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is believed to be important in aging. To begin to determine the role of thiols in aging and heat stress, we depleted liver glutathione (GSH) by administering l-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) in young (6 mo) and old (24 mo) Fisher 344 rats before heat stress. Animals were g...
Intravenous doses of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, NSC 326231), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, were eliminated rapidly from mouse plasma in a biexponential manner. The initial phase of the plasma concentration versus time curve had a half-life of 4.9 min and accounted for 94% of the total area under the curve. The half-life of the terminal phase of the curve was 36.7 min and the area acc...
Relapse of neuroblastoma (NB) commonly occurs in hypoxic tissues. Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, is cytotoxic for NB cell lines in atmospheric oxygen (20% O(2)). Tirapazamine (TPZ) is a bioreductive agent that forms a toxic-free radical in hypoxia. We determined in four NB cell lines cytotoxicity using the DIMSCAN digital imaging fluorescence assay, g...
BACKGROUND Despite intensive-alkylator based regimens, >50% of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) die from recurrent disease that is probably due, in part, to acquired alkylator resistance. PROCEDURE Using buthionine sulfoximine (BSO)-mediated, glutathione (GSH) depletion to modulate melphalan (L-PAM) resistance, we examined six NB cell lines established after progressive disease foll...
Modulation of thiol levels may alter both the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. We investigated cytoenhancement, using L-buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine (BSO) to reduce cellular glutathione levels prior to intracarotid alkylator administration. We also evaluated chemoprotection against chemotherapy-induced systemic toxicity when the thiol agents N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and sodium th...
Increased glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (Trx) metabolism are mechanisms that are widely implicated in resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The current study determined if simultaneous inhibition of GSH and Trx metabolism enhanced cell killing of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells by a mechanism involving oxidative stress. Inhibition of GSH and Trx metabolism wi...
Background: The role of mesenchymal stem cell in cellular therapy is the subject of interest for many researchers. The differentiation potential of MSCs and abilities in modulations of the recipient’s immune system makes them important cells in tissue regenerative studies. MSCs by releasing the proinflammatory cytokines play important role in immunomodulatory systems; however the signaling path...
Bcl-2 protein plays a critical role in inhibiting anticancer drug-induced apoptosis. We found that Bcl-2 overexpression is associated with a nearly 3-fold increase in cellular glutathione levels and with increased resistance to cell death after treatment with etoposide or SN-38, a derivative of camptothecin, in leukemia 697 cells with wild-type p53. Treatment of Bcl-2-overexpressing 697 cells (...
